Into The Darkness: Sweet Sweet Slumber

Whenever the weekend rolls around I always think about all of the rest I'm going to get.  I think about sleeping in and rising when I feel the urge to do so.  Well, not this weekend my friends!  Saturday will be filled with work, work, work!  It's okay, since I love my work and the people that I work with, it's a pleasure and more times than not, fun!    You have to love the tall embossed leather headboard! ...

Today's Office: Rustic And Modern

One very cold and dreary weekend back in winter, a designer friend of mine Tavia, my assistant (and 7 year old daughter) Gillian, and I set out to find wonderful treasure at the Scott Antiques Market that's held every second weekend here in Atlanta.  It seemed that everywhere we turned we saw antlers of every size and variety.  I'm not much of an antler or taxidermy kinda gal, but I will tell you, I was really consumed by these...

A Fashion Cause For Pause

No, it's nothing serious!  I'm just devastated, simply devastated!  Not that I thought I would be able to purchase the dress of my Fall 2012 dreams, but gosh golly, I can't even afford to dream about it anymore!  I pinned this incredible Gucci dress to my Pinterest Fashion board back in May, and it has been one of my most pinned pins here in recent weeks!  It is phenomenal and pardon me for being so, hmm...forward,...

What Does It Mean To Further A Theme?

I really love the images of Ivanka Trumps Upper East Side Manhattan apartment featured in the October issue of Elle Decor.  Ivanka collaborated with Kelly Behun to create the comfortable "warm modern" home she shares with her husband, Jared Kushner and new baby girl, Arabella Rose.  The apartment overlooks Central Park and only blocks away from her office.  Talk about having your cake and eating it too! This...

Making A Statement with Bookcases, Shelving, and Etageres

    I'm always so interested to see how people live with books, treasured collectibles, and random pieces.  Long gone are the days when bookshelves were used to store books only.  Homeowners are now embracing shelving and cabinetry of all kinds as apart of the interior decor and using them to make a statement.  Some of the statements are very deliberate and some totally random; but the mix, whether eclectic...

Where Did The Week Go?

  Seriously, where did the week go?  It's all a blur!  I literally think I spent all of my time dropping the kids off at school and picking them up!  Can I vent for a moment?  Thank you!  My alarm goes off every morning at 5am, but most of the time my feet will not hit the floor until 5:30.  My schedule is so tight.  I have no room to meander about, because from the time I get home from dropping...

The Complexity of "The Words" with Bradley Cooper and Zoe Saldana

  I cannot say enough about how much I enjoyed The Words!  Bradley Cooper, in my opinion, can do no wrong, and maybe that's why I found the movie to be wonderful!  Meanwhile, the friend that accompanied me to the movie, sat through it asking questions, sighing heavily, and rolling her eyes because she felt, what many of the critics felt...bored and confused!  The Words has such a wonderful cast which...

Back To Work: Monday's Office and It Is Gorgeous!

Everytime I go home to visit and go into my dad's office, I look around and shake my head! He has such a great space and I can see doing wonderful things with it. He has files everywhere. They are on the floor, the credenza, the bookshelves, the chairs; everywhere! He's pretty funny!  Everytime I mention he needs to let me do something to make it more organized and handsome, he let's me know "This is where work happens.  I...

Social Media: FOMO or No Mo!

Another late day posting!  My apologies again and thank you for being so patient and understanding! :)  So, I have been reading a few articles here as of late about people who are somewhat addicted to the most popular social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest; who have a Fear Of Missing Out!  They are constantly checking status updates, reading tweets, and seeing who has pinned what.  Hmmm, sounds like...

Color Inspiration: Black, Gray, Orange...

My apologies for posting late today.  I am a bit overwhelmed by opportunity (as a very good friend of mine would say)!  Therefore, this posting will be brief and without it's usual story.  I'm not quite sure how I happened upon this topic, but oh my gosh, how lovely are these colors!  Fall is my most favorite season and living in an area where I am able to see the changes in the landscape, and appreciate all that it...

Seriously Crushing On All Things Brass And Gold!

I must admit, I've not really been all that crazy about polished silver or chrome.  I know that it has been the finish of choice for quite a few years and I do think that it looks amazing when used for the right application.  But then so does most everything when done right.  No?  I've always favored oil rubbed bronze and the beautiful patinaed brass found in old buildings and homes.  There's a warmth about this...
